Laughs? Czech. Culture? Czech. Excitement? Czech.

See why this week's edition of Caller Entertainment's Sarah Acosta's Top 5 Weekend Picks is a home run.

CORPUS CHRISTI - With such a wide range of events, you could say this weekend is for the Renaissance man. Dance a polka, enjoy some good ol' college baseball, spot an endangered species, laugh at some of the funniest people in Texas and enjoy a cultural night of ballet. The best part — you don't have to choose which to do. You can do them all, because they are at different times.

1. Do the polka: Get your Czech on at the 27th Annual Polka Fest this Saturday hosted by the Czech Heritage Society of South Texas at Sokol Hall. Dance polka with all-day live polka bands, and of course make sure to have room for the Czech food — especially the kolaches. Enjoy a country store, raffle and silent auction. Admission is $7. For information on the festival see page 12.

2. Who's on first: If you're a college baseball fan, then this is the weekend to make your way to Whataburger Field for the 2012 Kleberg Bank College Classic today through Sunday. Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will host Nebraska, UNLV and Utah. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 4 to 12. Three-day passes cost $24 and $12.

3. Big whoop: Seriously, it's a big whooping deal. The 16th annual Whooping Crane Festival not only showcases an extremely endangered bird of wonder but all things nature in Port Aransas, beginning today through Sunday. Bird enthusiasts or anyone who loves nature can enjoy nature tours, dolphin tours, children's exhibits, speaker events on the environment and more. For information on this event, see page 7

4.Some of the biggest LOLs in Texas: Everything in Texas is big, so I'm sure these comedians will give you some big laughs. Comedians from all over Texas will compete in the Last Comic Standing Comedy Contest at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. tonight at the Vent Comedy Club inside Gators Bar, 4610 S. Padre Island Drive. Tickets cost $7 in advance or $10 at the door. This contest is open to professional and amateur comedians. For more information, call 434-4290 or visit www.ventnation.com.

5.A cultural night of ballet: Enjoy the beauty and humanity of the ballet with the Ailey II dance company at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Richardson Performance Hall at Del Mar College.
